Hey there,
I prefere the command line for setting up my partition schemas, and pools in order to have fine grained control on sector alignment, labels, swap and freebsd-zfs partition size, zfs pool layout and so on.
Problem: I don't see the created and mounted pool (created with zpool(8)) in the WebUI, neither do I see my assigned labels (glabel(8)) in the "View Disks" Description section.
What I did is something like:
The pool is ONLINE and mounted (as is the freenas-boot pool). The pool is just not showing up in the UI (View Volumes), FreeNAS reports all disks as available to create a new volume (which is wrong), and neither do the labels get shown in "View Disks".

Code:
gpart create -s gpt ada1 gpart create -s gpt ada2 gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -a 1m -s 500m -l zfs1 ada1 gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -a 1m -s 500m -l zfs2 ada2 zpool create mypool mirror gpt/zfs1 gpt/zfs2 zpool status reboot now
The pool is ONLINE and mounted (as is the freenas-boot pool). The pool is just not showing up in the UI (View Volumes), FreeNAS reports all disks as available to create a new volume (which is wrong), and neither do the labels get shown in "View Disks".
Question:
- What action is necessary to have my glabel changes being reflected in View Disks/Description?
- Why do I need to "zpool export" my manually created pool from the cmd and import it again in the WebUI? Can't the UI query via zpool(8) and zfs(8) to show whats currently mounted?
